This was a good allaround car. To bad this car and ford crown vic. are not made anymore. The only problem I had was trying to backup, in winter time, on an incline. The drag on the front disc brakes was to great, causing the car to slide sideways.

I enjoy my Grand Marquis, it's only thee GS model, so it doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the higher end models. It's very comfortable, and smooths out the bumps in the road, which is important on my long drives. The AC and heater are both pretty strong on this car, better than other cars I've had. It's pretty reliable, I do regular maintenance as I should,. Had to replace the fuel pump twice so far, at 172k miles; but fuel pumps seem to be common replacement parts nowadays.

My family was a family of chevy and cadillac lovers thats all that was in my parents driveway but a year ago i bought my 2003 marquis with 79,000 miles because im a ford guy and for $2,500 dollars it was a steal needless to say i was made fun of by my family but it quickly grew on them to the point where my mother has tried to steal it. My mother ended up trading in her 2004 cts for a 2009 towncar and, my father traded in his 2004 sls for a 2008 crown Victoria ex police car as well as buying a 2002 maurader. I was planning on trading it in for something newer and more reliable but im keeping this car it is a soom riding highway beast with good power and cheap replacement parts but you'll never ever need to replace anything expensive this car has never left me stuck or broke down in any srnce of the word. All ive done was replace a upper ball joint, sparks plugs, tires, brakes, and oil... all routine maintenance stuff this car is staying eith me for a long time

Worst car owned

Compared to EVERY OTHER car I have owned,
this cars options and design are the worst of
any auto I have owned. From entry to switch
placement, this car is a pain. I hate this car and

2003 was a granny car for 48xxx miles (over 12 years)
I have added 15xxx in one year. Recall on headlights /(headlights are out.) FMC says they have parts but dealers say no. ( taken to two dealers call FMC twice , who is lying to who) Car due to be out of date inspection and tags this month. (Texas requires inspection to tag) List of other elec. issues include power windows, rad, fan, horn. No car.
Last Ford owned was bought new in 2000 and I had
issues with dealer over warranty repairs.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from Ford.
Every other car I have owned (many) have been
driven multiple 100000, and never with issues.
Go with a Honda or Toyota
